    MEAM Seminar: “From Elder Care Service Robots to the Design of Low-Cost End-Effectors and Novel Manipulation Techniques”

    August 6, 2019 @ 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Older adults are forming a much larger percentage of the population leading to a strain in the healthcare sector. It is expected that the population aged 65 and over in the United States alone will double in the next 30 years, and similarly worldwide. Despite abundance of the facilities to accommodate the growing older adult […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Mechanical Models for DNA”

    August 13, 2019 @ 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    We will discuss two complementary mechanical models for DNA that deal with, respectively two problems: one, phase transitions in a DNA molecule, and two, allosteric interactions between two ligands bound to DNA. Experimental studies on single molecules of DNA have reported a rich variety of cooperative structural transitions, including coexistence of three phases, when a […]

    MEAM Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Additive Manufacturing and Mechanical Properties of Cellulose Nanofibril Materials”

    August 14, 2019 @ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are a nanomaterial derived from plants that have high specific stiffness and strength, can be made into optically transparent materials, and are biodegradable. These properties make CNFs an attractive building block for bulk structural materials. However, CNFs are typically produced in aqueous suspension at low CNF weight fractions (<1 wt.%), which makes […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Delivering Expressive and Personalized Fingertip Haptic Cues”

    August 15, 2019 @ 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The importance of meaningful tactile experiences has become increasingly apparent in areas such as teleoperation, education, and gaming. As the applications of rendering haptic stimuli are growing, so are the requirements of haptic interfaces, in that the intended audience is becoming more diverse and the intended interactions are becoming more complicated. For the past few […]

    CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Utilization of MEMS Techniques for the Fabrication of Scalable Energy Storage Devices”

    August 16, 2019 @ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Committee Members: Sue Ann Bidstrup Allen, Advisor; Raymond Gorte, John Vohs and Mark Allen.

    Friday Aug 16

    CBE Doctoral Thesis Defense: “Utilization of Mems Techniques for the Fabrication of Scalable Energy Storage Devices”

    August 16, 2019 @ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Committee: Sue Ann Bidstrup Allen, Advisor; Raymond Gorte, John Vohs and Mark Allen

    Tuesday Aug 20

    MEAM Seminar: “Nano-compatible Neuromorphic Computers: An All-passive Approach to Neural Networks”

    August 20, 2019 @ 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    This era of the internet of things is poised to experience explosive growth in the number of interconnected smart electronic devices. Machine learning algorithms, such as neural networks, are expected to play an indispensable role in analyzing the data gathered by these devices, and in many cases, will also facilitate informed device responses. However, the […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Small, Autonomous, Flying Robots that can Feel and Map their Environment”

    August 27, 2019 @ 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM /
    Room 307, Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Autonomous flight through unknown environments in the presence of obstacles is a challenging problem for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). A majority of the current state-of-art research focuses on modeling obstacles as opaque objects that can be easily sensed by optical sensors such as cameras or LiDARs. Since obstacles may not always be opaque, particularly in […]

    Friday Aug 30

    CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Anisotropy and Aggregation in Self-Assembled Polymer Nanocomposites”

    August 30, 2019 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM /
    Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Committee: Robert Riggleman, PhD (co-advisor); Russell Composto, PhD (co-advisor); Ravi Radhakrishan, PhD; and Jeff Meth, PhD

    Friday Aug 30

    MEAM/LRSM Seminar: “Enabling Soft, Flexible 2D Materials and Sensors”

    August 30, 2019 @ 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM /
    Reading Room, LRSM 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Low temperature synthesis of high quality 2D materials directly on flexible substrates remains a fundamental limitation towards realization of robust, strainable electronics possessing the unique physical properties of atomically thin structures. Here, we describe room temperature synthesis of uniform, stoichiometric amorphous MoS2, WSe2, and other transition metal dichalcogenides and subsequent large area (>5 cm2) photonic […]
